About this map

Wind River Indian Reservation dominates this 1952 topographic study, showing a high-altitude landscape defined by its relative isolation and lack of developed roads. The terrain is marked by prominent natural boundaries including Spring Ridge, Cedar Ridge, and Bull Ridge, which channel the waters of the North Fork and South Fork. These drainage systems converge as they move toward the lower elevations of the Little Sand Draw.

Kirkland Park provides a notable point of reference within the central reservation lands, situated below the distinctive peak of Crow Mountain. The map illustrates the complex hydrology of the region, where perennial Springs feed into Willow Creek and the significant flow of Bull Lake Creek. This survey preserves the geography of the Shoshone and Arapaho lands before modern development, emphasizing the preserve's character as a protected wilderness area.
